This paper discusses the design and experimental analysis of a composite leaf spring made of glass fiber reinforced polymer. The objective is to compare the load carrying capacity, stiffness, and weight savings of composite leaf spring with that of steel leaf spring. The paper describes the significant economic potential of polymer composite and to replace automobile components (leaf Spring) against the steel. The study demonstrated that composites can be used for leaf springs for light weight vehicles and meet the requirements, together with substantial weight savings.
